"According to the edict of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty: Xiliang Ma Teng, Han Sui took advantage of the chaos in Xiliang since the Zhongping period, supported the army and respected himself, and did not listen to the orders of the imperial court." Early the next morning, the streets of Xiliang were plastered with notices from Cao Jun, which clearly pointed out that Ma Teng and Han Sui were traitors, making trouble in Xiliang and killing the generals of the imperial court.

At the same time, Lu Rui also informed all the people of Tianshui that the clansmen of the Ma clan would be beheaded at noon today, and the capital punishment would be imposed. This is like a bombshell, it exploded in Tianshui, and everyone discussed this matter openly or secretly, not because of how powerful the Ma clan is, but because the Ma clan is involved in some tribes of the Qiang people, Cao Jun treats the Ma clan like this, I don't know if the Qiang people will retaliate.

"Yang Gong, Lu Rui actually wants to punish the Ma clan's clansmen, this is too ruthless, although Mrs. Ma's tribe is not a big tribe of the Qiang tribe, but if you want to raise troops to take revenge, I'm afraid our Tianshui will be difficult to parry, you always give us analysis and analysis, so that we can rest assured." A scholar clan head of Tianshui anxiously asked Yang Gong that the distance between Tianshui and the Qiang tribe was too close, and the harassment of the Qiang cavalry was not a good thing for the family.

"Too ruthless? You haven't seen the real ruthlessness yet. Yang Gong took a deep breath, the so-called "gift" sent by Lu Rui today made Yang Gong break out in a cold sweat, and this kid pulled himself onto the thief ship.

"Yang Gong, what do you mean by that?"

"Butler, show the gifts sent by Lu Rui to the family masters."

"Yes, sir!" Soon the official family brought several corpses.

"Yang Gong, what is this?"

"Look at it. Who are these people? Yang Gong lifted the white cloth. Everyone was stunned. There are not only the corpses of the head of the Zhao family, but also the corpses of some of the heads of the Tianshui family, all of whom are two-headed grass or people who support the Ma family.

"Yang Gong, did these things Lu Rui?" A head of the family gasped, if you don't play like this, you just enter the city and kill people, this is too unruly, how can you say that these are families that have been entrenched in Tianshui for decades.

"The head of the Zhao family was killed by Zhao Ang. The head of the Zhao family wanted to benefit from both sides, so Zhao Ang joined Lu Rui, killed the head of the Zhao family, and succeeded to the position of the new head of the family. As for the others, what the cause of death is, I don't need to say more, but there is no evidence to prove that Cao Jun did it, but last night there was chaos in the city, and these people died unexpectedly. ”

"Fate? Yang Gong, this discerning person can see that it is. "A head of the house thought of something. Shut your mouth.

"Clear-eyed people? Who is the Clear-Eyed Man? And what is the evidence? There is no evidence, and all are innocent. Lu Rui killed them? No, they hurt themselves! Yang Gong shook his head, if these people are not sober, they will be the next to die.

"I'll wait until I understand, Yang Gong, since Cao Jun controls Tianshui, we will turn our guns and support Cao Jun, so as to keep our industry in Tianshui, as for the Ma clan, if it weren't for the force and the support of the Qiang people, they would have left Tianshui a long time ago." One of the heads of the house immediately came to his senses and spoke out loud.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, let's not think about how to keep Tianshui's industry first, let's think about how to save our lives." Yang Gong narrowed his eyes, it would be nice if Lu Rui was so simple, but Lu Rui's back hand made him a little overwhelmed.

"Saving your life? Yang Gong, is Lu Rui going to kill us? A family head looked at Yang Gong warily.

"Humph! Do you think Cao Mengde is the kind of stupid person? Lu Rui was a young marquis, I underestimated him, let me tell you, Lu Rui only brought seven hundred elites to raid Xiliang this time. There are no reinforcements in Hanzhong, and now there are only 700 Cao troops in Tianshui City. Yang Gong looked at the head of the family with disdain, he was really hopeless.

"Yang Gong, Lu Rui only has seven hundred people, how to do it to us, you are really too worried." Everyone present laughed, seven hundred? Not even as good as the guards in his own house.

"You guys are so naïve, I said that Cao Jun wanted to kill us? It's not Cao Jun, it's the Qiang people! Yang Gong slammed his cane to the ground and screamed anxiously.

Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, there were many restrictions, and everything had to be done to talk about the righteousness of the court, which was Cao Cao's weakness, so now although Cao Cao suppressed the family, he also reused the talented people of the family. Although the meritocracy reused the poor people, under the restrictions of the Han Dynasty, the people of the family still controlled the politics, and Cao Cao just made the efficiency of the political machine more efficient.

The Qiang people are different, the Qiang people are foreign and have not been sinicized, and they don't talk about politics and power schemes. Lu Rui had just sent someone to spread the word that he had withdrawn his troops from Tianshui and camped in the west of the city. Due to the lack of his own troops, he hoped that the Tianshui family would contribute money and efforts to defend Tianshui.

"This is Lu Rui's plan to kill two birds with one stone, we have all been fooled, but we can only rely on Lu Rui, otherwise we are all the souls of the Qiang people!"

Lu Rui brought all the cavalry, the caravan has a large number of horses, Tianshui is the Kansai Plain, a horse Pingchuan, if the Qiang people come to attack, Lu Rui can't run away, but Tianshui's family can't run, the family is big, how to run?

Lu Rui's cavalry is very mobile, the Qiang people will not give up the fat of Tianshui for a few hundred people, the root cause of Tianshui has been safe for many years is the Ma clan, and now the Ma clan people are about to be slaughtered, who will ensure their safety? Only themselves!

If the family contributed money and strength to resist the Qiang people, it would be a final victory, and their own vitality would be greatly damaged, and after the Cao army controlled Tianshui, the resistance to rule would be small.

"Killing people with a knife kills two birds with one stone, do you know how powerful Lu Rui is?" Yang Gong unhurriedly told Lu Rui's plan.

"What!" As soon as Yang Gong's remarks came out, everyone was in a mess and began to discuss, this was a major matter related to their life and death.

"That's it! Don't quarrel, for today's plan, only we have the money to contribute, and we have the strength to defend Tianshui and defend our own interests! Yang Gong saw that everyone was in a mess, and shouted loudly, so that everyone calmed down.

"Yang Gong, you want us to defend Tianshui, this?" One of the housekeepers rolled his eyes, as if he didn't want to.

"Hmph, brother, what are you thinking, what are you thinking, the old man knows, he just doesn't want to consume his strength, but now we have nothing to do, if the Qiang people report it, even if you have a family soldier, you can command to kill the enemy? Who will command, all of you? Standing up, the old man persuaded the family of Tianshui to hand over the soldiers of each family to him for command. ”

"But the old man wants to remind you that if you lose, the person who leads the troops into battle will be the first to die!"

"Brother, the Qiang people like to light sky lanterns for their enemies, do you want to try it like this?" Yang Gong raised his cane and hit the fat belly of a family head next to him.

"No, no, no, everything is under Yang Gong's orders." The head of the fat family shrank his head and retreated.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you still have any objections? If there is no objection, the old man sent someone to reply to Lu Rui, explaining that everyone resists the heart of the Qiang people. But I would like to warn you that if you are half-minded or do not do your best, I am afraid that your head will fall to the ground. Think about it, do you want the whole clan to be ruined here, or do you want to give it a go? After Yang Gong finished speaking, he returned to the main seat on crutches.

"This?" The crowd began to discuss again.

"Yang Gong, we think Yang Gongzhi's suggestion is very good, and we are willing to obey Yang Gongzhi's orders, assist Lu Rui, and stick to Tianshui." This time, everyone didn't think about it for long, every family head was not stupid, and Yang Gong's explanation made them make a choice quickly.

"Okay, since you have no problem, the old man will go back to the marquis."

"Lu Rui is so ruthless, he pulled us onto the thief ship!" One of the heads of the house complained angrily.

"Brother, pay attention to the words, we are not on the thief ship, we are abandoning the darkness and turning to the light!"

"That's right! Right! What Yang Gong said is very true, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, abandon the darkness and turn to the light! (To be continued......)
